€2,200 EPT National High Roller
Dia 1b Iniciado
At 7 pm local time, Day 1b of the €2,200 EPT National High Roller gets underway as the players gather for their final opportunity to qualify for tomorrow's Day 2.
Last year, Tuomo Niskanen emerged as champion out of a 1,527-entry strong field, making a deal with Brian Kaufman to claim the trophy and €368,925 after a deal was made, guaranteeing Kaufman a nice €432,135 payday. The prize pool reached €2,962,380 and a similarly monstrous turnout and prize pool is expected again this year.
The 2019 PokerStars European Tour Barcelona event will follow the format of the EPT National but with 20-minutes levels and a break after every six levels. This is a freezeout event and play will finish when 15% of the field remains, with all the players being in the money.
Players get 30,000 in starting chips at blinds of just 100/100 to start, leaving some space for action. The survivors from both fields will be reunited on Monday, August 26 at noon and play down until a new champion is crowned.

Jon Gurrutxaga Alba started the action with a raise to 400 from the high-jack, called by Jimmy Kebe on the button and Salvatore Donato in the big blind.
A flop was dealt and Alba made a continuation bet of 600 after Donato checked. Kebe called and Donato thought about his move for a minute before opting to three-bet to 2,000. Only Kebe stayed in the pot.
Donato announced a check in the dark before a came on the turn, and Kebe checked back.
Donato checked in the dark once more and the river fell the . Kebe tanked and fired 6,500 in the middle. Donato ended up calling but only to muck his cards after Kebe showed for the flush.
